3-1 Final

Looks like the Knights might make a series out of this one. We'll see how things go with Game 3.

It looks like the Caps are falling apart a bit. Down 4 to 1 at the end of 2?

So.


What been going on with the Winnipeg Jets? They seem to be having some issues tonight. A single goal to tie the game, but then screw up 12 seconds later to give the lead back to the Knights?

They sound like they are having all sorts of problems, tbh.
